their disdains still linger
in my mind they are mean
but slowly i let it loose
with squiz on the mirror,
i can hear myself humming
of Christina Aguilera's
song, i am beautiful no matter
what they say... i sigh
my voice bounces back
like Apophyllite crystals
sparkling in the midnight
as i catch every breath
of my jaunty jiffy
i dance the beat of salsa
in the terrace 'til dawn,
under the moonshine alone
